What's an Eldritch Horror's Perception Rating?

I have never wanted a character with stealth abilities more than I do when playing The Secret World.

Never ever.

Session 09 of our co-op playthrough of Ironsworn: Starforged. We pause long enough to trade supplies with an old and deeply unsettling acquaintance: Anora Talin, a razor-sharp trader with too much insight and no hesitation about using it. What starts as a resupply stop turns into one of the biggest lore sessions of the campaign so far. In this episode: - the precursor map/tablet reveals more strange behavior - Cole’s importance becomes clearer - secrets about the Balefire and Cobalt Reach emerge - a new faction concept appears: The Tethered - Tinker risks deeper contact with the symbiote - navigation experiments go very, very wrong - we end with one of our favorite cliffhangers yet Thanks for watching/listening along with our little corner of space. 2026 04 14
Sometimes, the story tells you it wants to be something else.

See the thing is, I called episode six "Crystal Snails", and then I got Vulfmon's Disco Snails stuck in my head, and then this happened. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry if you've never heard of Disco Snails. I'm sorry if you HAVE heard of Disco Snails. Mostly, I'm sorry to Vulfmon. Inside every snail shell is a tiny glowing gastropod Precursors might be dead, or fled: transcended into spacey gods But here they left behind these shiny slimy buggy bodies These super freaky guards will slime and kill you as a hobby Crystal snails, they’re on the walls and closing in on you with glowing trails Their slime is poison that will make your nervous system FLAIL They crawl into your suit and lick your face until you fail To breathe! Because you cannot fight these snails [Chorus] Crystal what? Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails Crystal wherе? Current position's in your engine Crystal how? They're on your ship, they've got the Drip Crystal why? They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers. There's bodies in the airlock, for the snails are on the loose Watch your step, they're only one inch tall and they crawl right at you They've synthesize deadly toxins up in their buggy bodies This downright funkadelic bunch have come to start the party (P-p-p-party) Crystal snails, they’re on the walls and closing in on you with glowing trails Their slime is poison that will make your nervous system FLAIL They crawl into your suit and lick your face until you fail To breathe! Because you cannot fight these snails [Chorus] Crystal what? Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails Crystal wherе? Current position's in your engine Crystal how? They're on your ship, they've got the Drip Crystal why? They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers. [Chorus] Crystal what? Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails Crystal wherе? Their location? In your station Crystal how? They're on your ship, they've got the Drip Crystal why? They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers.
(With apologies to Vulfmon.) Inside every snail shell is a tiny glowing gastropod Precursors might be dead, or fled: transcended into spacey gods But here they left behind these shiny slimy buggy bodies These super freaky guards will slime and kill you as a hobby Crystal snails, they’re on the walls and closing in on you with glowing trails Their slime is poison that will make your nervous system fail They crawl into your suit and lick your face until you fail To breathe! Because you cannot fight these snails [Chorus] Crystal what? Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails Crystal wherе? Current position's in your engine Crystal how? They're on your ship, they've got the Drip Crystal why? They're not ill-willer, they're just killers... 2026 03 03
Tinker and Quin engage in a time-honored spacer tradition (drinking and conspiracy theories) followed by another time-honored ironsworn tradition (fighting for your life). 2026 02 24 timebolted
We meet Quintin's daughter, and then head out on our main mission. Both of these go exactly as we expected, as usual. 2026 02 17 Music by Kevin MacLeod. Intro by kleber-kgf.
This game, man... this game.... A few notes: the audio is still uneven. I tried a few things, but I need to try a few more. Stay with us and I'll get it sorted, I promise. 2026 02 13
Kiri's symbiote saves him... from something, or for something? Quinn pulls on the strings trailing from everyone on Providence Station. 2026 02 03
